New Music from Course
On the Next Echoes, music from Course. That’s the project of Jessica Robbins. On the new album, Hue Mirror, she turns her medical journey into deeply felt songs of both despair and hope. She’s a Canadian musician with a couple of albums of electronic pop to her name. But her new release is something different. She writes about her medical journey of pain and tests and prescription drugs that finally took her to a diagnosis of ankylosing spondylitis, an auto-immune disease in the spine and joints that can cause all kinds of pain throughout the body. Jess has created a song-cycle that explores her journey, but renders it in beautiful affirmative songs. The album title, Hue Mirror is a play on the drug he takes, Humira. We’ll hear a couple of tracks along her path. John Diliberto brings you the healing music of Echoes from PRX.
